a United states Attorney resigns

BosroN, Aug. 18.-Hon. George NJ. Stearns
has resigned the Office of United States dis
trct attorney for Massachusetts,. He sent
his resignation to President Cleveland two
weeks ago, assigning the reason for the
act that his health was impaired and conse-
quently he could longer consent to dis
charge the duties of the Office. The reason
the matter has been kept secret so long is
that Mr.. Stearns felt delicacy in announc-
ing the resignation in advance of its accept
ance by the President. To a Herald report
er who suggested that he would be a good
Democratic candidate for governor Mr..
Stearns said to.night: ~ wish you would
say to the public that my determination not
to accept nomination for that or anv other
office is final, absolute, unqualified, irrevo-
cable" The resignation will take effect
